About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 5 has issued a Special Notice for a sole source contract to repair a catastrophically damaged fire engine. The agency has determined that Deranged Diesel, a small business, is the only available source that can promptly perform the necessary engine replacement and rebuild due to their experience with this specific engine model. The estimated cost for the repairs is $37,930.96.
The purpose of this Special Notice is to provide the justification for limiting competition to a sole source under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1) for this simplified acquisition. The agency requires the repairs to be completed as quickly as possible to restore the fire engine's operational capability and support emergency response to fires. The Special Notice is set aside for small businesses, with a due date of November 19, 2024. Deranged Diesel is the only eligible contractor identified through the agency's market research that can promptly carry out the necessary repairs.
